Common Expressions: DANDIES

Expressions Definition
Fopish Dandies The Fopish Dandies are a Euro alt-country zydeco fusion band that hail from the Virginia suburbs of Washington, DC. Widely regarded as a cutting-edge group, they had begun to attract Fop Heads- groups of hippies and other social vagabonds that would follow them on tour from city to city. However, a sudden loss of cool cache occurred when they were played on the radio by Mary Lucia on KCMP 89.3 The Current. After that it was all down hill and The Fopish Dandies were regarded as sell-outs. (references)
